Free ADA & WCAG accessibility checker
Check any website for accessibility issues in under a minute. A real browser scan with the official WCAG ruleset — your failures ranked by lawsuit risk, with how to fix each one.
We scan public pages only. Nothing is injected into your site.
What the checker tests
- Colour contrastText and UI that's too low-contrast for low-vision and older users.
- Image alt textImages a screen reader can't describe (WCAG 1.1.1).
- Form labelsUnlabeled fields that make checkout/signup impossible with a screen reader.
- Button & link namesIcon-only controls with no accessible name.
- ARIA & structureBroken roles, states, and heading order that break navigation.
- Overlay detectionFlags accessiBe/UserWay-type widgets that don't fix the real code.

Frequently asked questions
Is the accessibility checker really free?
Yes. You can scan any public website for WCAG 2.1/2.2 and ADA issues for free, with no credit card and no signup. You get the score, the issues found, and how to fix them.
What does the checker test for?
It runs the official axe accessibility ruleset in a real browser across your top pages — testing colour contrast, missing image alt text, unlabeled form fields and buttons, link names, ARIA, heading structure and more. Automated testing reliably catches the machine-detectable WCAG failures (roughly a third of all success criteria); full conformance still needs human review.
Is this an accessibility overlay or widget?
No. We do not inject anything into your site. An overlay (like accessiBe or UserWay) layers a widget on top and leaves the underlying code failing — the FTC fined accessiBe $1M because overlays don't make a site compliant. We scan your real code and show you what to fix.
Why does web accessibility matter legally?
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has been enforceable since June 2025 and requires e-commerce sites to meet WCAG. In the US, the ADA drives thousands of web accessibility lawsuits a year, and around 82% of digital ADA suits target e-commerce. A failing site is both a barrier for disabled users and concrete legal exposure.
Does accessibility help SEO?
Yes — many accessibility fixes (semantic HTML, alt text, heading structure, contrast, descriptive links) overlap with SEO best practice. Studies have found sites with higher accessibility scores rank for more keywords and earn more organic traffic.
Can I monitor my site continuously?
Yes. The free scan is a snapshot; accessibility breaks again on every deploy, new page, or content edit. Proveform re-scans automatically, emails you the moment something regresses, and exports timestamped WCAG/VPAT evidence for auditors.
